From Annecy to Duingt or Marlens along the west shore, on a separate, almost flat lane · half a day or a day · bike from €20.

What it is
The greenway leaves Annecy and follows the west shore of the lake for about 33 km to Marlens, on a lane separated from traffic with about 20 m of ascent. It passes Sévrier, Saint-Jorioz and Duingt, where the lake narrows between mountains, and continues towards Albertville. It is for bikes, roller skates, wheelchairs and walkers.
Hiring the bike
Roul' ma Poule has shops in the centre of Annecy, in Annecy-le-Vieux and in Sévrier, already on the greenway. Its 2026 rates: leisure bike €20 for half a day and €27 for the day; electric from €44 and €57; trailer for one or two children €15 and €20. There are also electric cargo bikes for families.
How far to go
Annecy–Duingt and back is about 25 km flat: half a day with a swim. To Marlens and back is over 60 km. The full circuit of the lake is about 40 km with 200 m of ascent and stretches with cars on the east shore. In autumn 2026 the road and the track at Talloires-Montmin are closed for works from 14 September to 18 December.

Lo organiza: Roul' ma Poule, desde 20 € half day (2 to 4 h) (https://www.annecy-location-velo.com/tarifs/)
